Joined up with Daniel to see Jane Frere's fantastic piece of work called Return of the Soul about the Palestinian Nakbah. So provocative that Daniel and Catherine and Anna and I went to hear the artist talk about her work.. which was fascinating.. She recommended a book on the Nakbah called the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by and Israeli lecturer called Illan Pappe, which I am now half way through.
3000 figures hanging in space, each one made in the memory of one of the Palestinians forced to flee their homes, hanging in space to represent their in-limbo condition which has now continued for 60 years.
And then Elizabeth Blackadder.. dbe rsa ra rsw, but I don't see why she is sooo special. Still lifes in water colour, often strange spacings in a slightly japanese style. Again very very expensive.
